April in Paris, 1921

T E S S A LUNN E Y

Meet Kiki Button: socialite, private detective and spy.

It’s 1921, and after two years at home in Australia, Katherine King Button has had enough. Her parents have ordered her to get married, but after serving as a nurse during the Great War, she has vowed never to take orders again, and instead flees for Paris. Paris is the city of freedom, the place where she can remake herself as Kiki Button, gossip columnist extraordinaire, partying with the rich and famous, the bohemian and bold, the suspicious and strange. But on the modelling dais, Picasso gives her a job: to find his wife’s portrait, which has gone mysteriously missing. That same night, her old spymaster from the war contacts her – she has to find a double agent or face jail. Kiki has just one week to use every ounce of her determination, her wit and her wiles to save herself, the man she adores, and the life she has come to love. Full of witty banter, gorgeous frocks, fast action and skulduggery galore, April in Paris, 1921 is playful, charming, witty, sexy and very, very entertaining. Tessa Lunney is a novelist, poet, and academic. In 2016 she won the prestigious Griffith University Josephine Ulrick Prize for Literature and the A Room Of Her Own Foundation Orlando Prize for Fiction. She was also the recipient of a Varuna Fellowship. Her poetry, short fiction, and reviews have been published in Best Australian Poems 2014 , Southerly , Cordite , Griffith Review , and the Australian Book Review , among others.
